Personalized Views of Information

- Timeline Visualizations: Timelines can be created for any entity in Sage SalesLogix and embedded anywhere in the product. Out of the box, timelines appear in Accounts and Tickets-showing you a graphical representation of events over a period of time; for instance, in an Account detail tab, you can view all Activities, Notes/History, Opportunities, and Tickets related to that account so you can gain a deeper understanding of trends and interactions.
- Welcome Page: Users can now customize the components that appear on the Welcome page that was introduced in Sage SalesLogix v7.2.2. New components have also been added including: My Recent Notes, Active Campaign Response Status, and My Closing Opportunities.
Usability Enhancements for Improved Productivity
- Enhanced User Interface: Redesigned header and toolbar, new title bar added, and collapsible left nav area
- Expanded Right-mouse Button Ability: Enables you to right-click in Tab areas and Lists

- Enhanced Drag and Drop Tabs: Visual indicators show you which tab you’re move and to where
- Attachment Improvements: Attachments can be associated to meetings, phone calls, to-do items, e-mails, notes, and personal activities; captured e-mails are opened in an e-mail editor so they appear in their original form-including HTML links, images, etc.; and only one copy of an attachment that was sent to multiple contacts will be stored in Sage SalesLogix-conserving disk space
- Redesign of Lookup: Lookup popups in Web Client have been redesigned with enhanced power and flexibility-providing a better user experience and improved search capabilities
This is, of course, all subject to change. Currently expected to go into beta in June/July timeframe.
